Choose a foreign country where you have traveled. Based on your observations of contextual, ethical, religious, gender, or social cultural differences between this country and the U.S., describe how conducting business in that country might differ from conducting business in the U.S. How easy would it be for you as an American to conduct business in person with people in this country? Ask yourself questions such as these: Would I have to learn the country’s language? Would I have to dress differently than I would for a business meeting in the U.S.? Would I have to behave differently than I would in the U.S. because of my gender? Would I have to accept different ethical standards than I would in the U.S.?
